Burnaby, BC Web Design Services

Our Burnaby Website Services

We are a comprehensive website development agency with a large team of in-house website designers and ecommerce web designers. Our web design team is separated into two groups, each focusing on either template or custom website design services.

1.) Template-Based Web Developments

Searching for an affordable website option? Your Burnaby small business might be interested in a template website!

Rather than creating design mockups and building a custom theme for your website, we can find and share several website templates that closely align with the look and feel you want.

Rest assured, you'll have the opportunity to select the theme you prefer, which we will then install on your development site.

We will then tailor the theme to align with your color scheme and load in your web content.

The starting cost for a templated web development is about $3,750, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For templated ecommerce web designs, the price and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Website Developments

As a custom web design company, we prefer to start every Burnaby web development service from scratch.

Our team can create tailor-made mockups that adhere to your brand's unique specifications, providing a preview of your website's aesthetics before our web designers begin their work. Best of all, those mockups can be revised until you're happy with the design concept and are ready to move forward.

After you approve the design mockup, our website development team will integrate it into a completely custom theme. There are many benefits to a custom template, including a simplified codebase that often has better website performance and usability since it was developed specifically for your Burnaby company.

The starting price for a custom website design is about $9,500, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For custom ecommerce web designs, the price and turnaround will be higher.

After the launch of your website, or if you have one, you might be interested in website maintenance services.

We think of web maintenance as a reactive support service where we provide your Burnaby business access to a web developer or ecommerce developer who can fix just about any problem.

Here are a few examples of website requests that might need Burnaby website support services:

• Updating your website platform.
• Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
• Adding new web pages as you release new products or services.

Picking a Platform for Your Burnaby, BC Website

The foundation of your Burnaby website is the content management system you choose for the design project. While our top web designers and ecommerce website developers are well-versed in multiple platforms, we prefer to only provide web development services in WordPress, and ecommerce development services in Shopify or WooCommerce.

1.) WordPress

More than 40% of websites in British Columbia and the rest of the country are powered by WordPress.

We specialize in WordPress not just because it's the most popular CMS platform in Burnaby, but just because it's the best for a customized web design service. The following reasons make WordPress the most scalable platform for designing websites, despite the fact there are alternatives for your project.

• You can add functionality to your website through third-party WordPress plugins. Not everything has to be built from scratch!
• There's a huge community of WordPress contributors helping to make the platform more stable, secure, and scalable.
• WordPress is popular among professional web development agencies and freelance web designers, making it possible to find a local Burnaby website developer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

Our WooCommerce web development team has experience helping startups and existing ecommerce businesses in Burnaby build amazing stores with WooCommerce.

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce web developers tend to recommend WooCommerce:

• If you need a custom theme with complex functionality, but have a limited budget, we often recommend WooCommerce. This is mostly due to custom theme and functionality work being cheaper in WooCommerce.
• If your Burnaby business already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. When you like the look and feel of your content-based website, why spend time and money redesigning it just to add ecommerce?
• Most companies in Burnaby who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for WordPress or WooCommerce. Alternatively, Shopify has monthly fees to use the platform and their apps are often more expensive than WordPress or WooCommerce plugins.
• WooCommerce is great if you're in an industry that's not accepted by Shopify.

3.) Shopify

Shopify is the most popular web-based ecommerce platform. To run an ecommerce website using Shopify you will likely be searching for a Shopify web designer in Burnaby.

Our Shopify developers have experience designing websites for online companies in and around British Columbia.

Our ecommerce web developers love Shopify for these reasons:

• For Burnaby merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. With Shopify, you don't have to worry about hosting configuration or platform updates.
• When Burnaby web companies don't need a lot of custom functionality, we often recommend Shopify. The cost of developing custom functionality within Shopify is often higher than in WordPress. Additionally, Shopify apps often have monthly fees versus WooCommerce plugins that are more affordable.
• Shopify is a great option for Burnaby ecommerce businesses that need fast delivery times for marketing and development. It is often faster with Shopify to test out new products, themes, apps, or ideas.

Questions to Ask a Burnaby, BC Web Designer

There are several important questions to ask your prospective Burnaby website development or ecommerce web development company before proceeding with your project. Let's go over some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom web development or ecommerce development project:

• Does the website designer outsource the project? Because we've got our own team of premium website designers and ecommerce website designers, we don't outsource.
• Will the website developers create 301 redirects to help search rankings? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Burnaby website redesign project.
• Will the website designer make a mockup, or provide theme samples, before starting the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Burnaby website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the website build gets too far along. However, that is only viable if you choose a custom web design service. If you opt for a theme-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
• Which CMS platform does your Burnaby website developer plan to use on your website project? We prefer WordPress because of its scalability, ease of use, and popularity. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast is your Burnaby website design service? We typically finish custom web design projects in 2-3 months, and template website projects in 3-4 weeks. Ecommerce website projects typically take longer to finish.
• Does the website design firm have experience with creative solutions? As a comprehensive web development agency, we love a challenge! Let us know what you have for unique needs and we will be happy to assist!
